## Achievements and performance
|**Summary of the main**
**achievements of the charity**
**during the year**|When the charity was incorporated in 2022, the primary aim was to
create a new community sports facility to replace the dilapidated
clubhouse of Skipton Cricket Club. We are delighted that after years of
planning, this was the year our vision was realised.
The building project began in February 2023 and having opened the
doors in September 2024, we have been able to enjoy our first full year of
operations. The new building is stunning and delivers well equipped
changing rooms for players and officials, with a spacious and welcoming
lounge equipped with bar and kitchen, opening to the sports fields and
stunning views across the valley. This is being delivered with
sustainability at the forefront of our thinking with high levels of insulation,
energy efficient air source heat pumps, heat recovery systems, and solar
panels.
The year began with smiling faces as our junior footballers and their
families settled in to their new home with post-match breakfast rolls and
drinks. Our cricketers then staged their first end of season presentation
dinner and awards with a sense of achievement and pride.
During the year we have been able to showcase the new community
sports hub and it has been a delight to host visiting teams receiving
excellent feed back from players and league officials alike. The new
facilities are acknowledged as raising standards and it is a privilege to
have been selected to host finals across football and cricket.
Use of the facilities extends beyond sport, with daily use including
community groups such as dementia care, disability groups along with
activity classes for young and old. This has been possible due to
continued work to finish the internal fittings plus access and landscaping
to provide a fully accessible and inclusive space.
We are proud to host a wide range of events including meetings and
celebrations for local businesses and families, which generate valuable
income to support the ongoing running and future development of the
facilities for both community sports hub plus the cricket and junior football
clubs.
The highlight of the year was the official opening of Skipton Community
Sports Hub on Friday 13thof June. On a beautiful summer’s evening, we
were able to celebrate and thank all those that had made it possible.
Whilst the Trustees are immensely proud, our thanks go to many funders,
along with officials from sporting bodies and local council plus our
members and backers across the community.|
